It is the first major examination to follow this defining theme through King's 40-year career, from his earliest writings to his most recent novels and films made from them. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eStephen King\u003c\/i\u003e begins by tracing Stephen King's rise from his formative years to his status as a one of the most popular writers in publishing history. It then takes a close look at the major works from his canon, including \u003ci\u003eThe Shining\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Stand\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eIt\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDolores Claiborne\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Dark Tower\u003c\/i\u003e. In these works and others, author Tony Magistrale focuses on King's deep rooted sense of the American experience, exemplified by his clear-eyed presentation of our historical and cultural foibles and scars; his gallery of unlikely friendships that cross race, age, and class boundaries; and his transcendent portrayals of uniquely American survival instincts, fellowship, and acts of heroism from the least likely of sources.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tony Magistrale\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.20w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780313352287\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTony Magistrale\u003c\/b\u003e is professor and chair of the English department at the University of Vermont.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":40924496658547,"sku":"9.78031E+12","price":141.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_6cf59140-07cf-49a5-81a2-e0828f47f4f8.jpg?v=1692191851","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/stephen-king-americas-storyteller-9780313352287","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
